I'm thinking that Don and Ed may need to be prohibited from practice
sessions - they need SOME kind of handicap. ha ha.

I think there is some confusion on this WPX warmup, at least there was on
my end. It looks like Tim's warmup was a personal invitation, not the
official one that contest sponsor CQ which Ed sent out today. Ed's warmup
followed the usual expected schedule. Ed's warmup announcement always
comes late but the schedule is more or less predictable.
I would be eager to participate in any additional private sponsored warmup
sessions but the recommendation to have an announcement earlier still
stands - especially for private ones.

Sorry I wasn't able to make the warm-up. I had wanted to do it, but other
things interposed, as they often do! I do plan to be on Thursday night,
though, for NS. Hope we have better conditions than last week, though.
